In just 3 easy steps, you'll be able to flash freeze a bottle of water just by touching
it. Next you'll learn how to to freeze flowing water, the instant it's poured from the bottle.
And your training will be complete when you can eliminate the bottle altogether. Now this
might seem slightly supernatural, but you don't have to be a master to do it. In this
project, we're discovering the secrets to Ice-bending - in real life.
For this project, we'll be using these bottles of purified water. I've got the 16.9 ounce
bottles, and they've never been opened, so the water is extremely pure. Now the secret
to instant ice is just about as simple as placing your bottles in the freezer. I let
these ones sit for 2 hours and 45 minutes exactly, and here you can see the water is
still liquid, but it's actually cooled down to a temperature well below freezing. All
it takes from this point is a sharp jolt to the bottle, and you can see the water flash
freezes to ice right in the palm of your hand. How cool is that? You can also start the reaction
by using an ice crystal, like one these ice cubes. Just carefully remove the cap from
the bottle, and pour the water directly onto the ice. The water immediately beings to crystalize,
giving you the power to create your own instant ice sculptures. The end result is a slush
that has the consistency of a watery snowball .. which, of course, is 100% edible, and refreshingly
delicious. Now try pouring your super-cooled water into a clean glass, and drop a bit of
ice right in the center. You'll see the ice crystal beings to grow until it fills the
glass completely. That's perfectly chilled for a hot summers day. Alright, let's finish
up by dipping just the tip of an ice cube in to see what happens. Within a couple of
seconds it's frozen in place, and the entire cup is solid. Well, now you know the secret
to pouring yourself some instant ice, and making water freeze on command. Now, if you'd

and things to watch out for when making Instant Ice. That's it for now. If you liked this
